less stupid wording, but still, in my opinion, not free.
It does not say only "any use ..is the sole responsability.."
(disclaimer) it adds " is forbidden..".
Any body who has been in far and strange countries knows how "local
law" could be stupid, oppressive and casual, so since 'it is
forbidden' it prevent the use in such countries where it could be
forbidden by some local law, even if the law in question shall be
considered 'illiberal' and 'oppressive' in other countries.
Should be the phrase only a disclaimer, it will be free.
